The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.

Revenge is nothing more than a sentimental waste of time....and energy....and resources....and it involves unnecessary risk.

Revenge Is For Fools.

You will have to work on everything that is worth having in life.

Your career, your relationships - whatever it is...

So if you don't want to work for it?

Totally fine, but be prepared to be very disappointed in the quality of everything you get.

Don't be the guy who's good at sounding smart but hasn't done anything with his life.

@Audiobooks_collection

An underrated form of self-sabotage, is focusing too much on other people.

@Audiobooks_collection

Nothing exposes your need for character development like a relationship.

You'll think you have sense, until you realize you have issues with communication, you're impatient, defensive or have trust issues.

Relationships are mirrors-showing us the flaws we didn't know we had.

"Remain playful as your responsibilities increase. It's easy to become serious when people and results depend on you, but nearly everyone's performance improves when they proceed lightly through the world."


@Audiobooks_collection

It's very easy to show up with energy when something is working. When it's clicking. When the result feels predictable. It's very hard to show up with energy when the rewards are uncertain.

Those who can tolerate the most uncertainty are the ones who will eventually win.

Remember that.

Every woman is a soldier.

She fights battles we never see.
She wins wars without medals.
Her courage is quiet, but her love is limitless.

As you age, you lose patience.

That’s both bad and good.

Bad because young guys will beat you in most things.

More energy means more girls, more wins, more fun, and higher goals reached.

But when life stops being new and becomes easy to read, you’ll know what to do.

And where to put your time and effort.

That’s why age is also a gift:

Because you spot patterns and know when to push forward or when to walk away without a care.

Loss unwraps the layers of love we never knew we carried.

Fuck you COVID

Real.

This is the ultimate sign of wealth.

To move at your own cadence.

There is no pride to be had in perpetually being "busy" or being reduced into scurrying like an insect.

To move with anxious haste is a tell that it is not you in control of your rhythm.

Tick tock, shrivelled clock.

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

Mastery is control of pace, and ownership over your cadence is luxury

"How can they allow so many of their days to blur into each other? Each year passes faster, and the months become the same, the days themselves now disappear. Repeated again and again. Repeated again and again.

Time can never be remembered when one lives this way. And in its petty spite, time returns the favour: it forgets those who slander it to waste."

@Audiobooks_collection

Notice the people who make an effort to stay in your life — not with grand gestures or fireworks, but with consistency, curiosity, and the grace of showing up. We live in a world drunk on convenience and allergic to commitment, and their presence is an act of defiance. They remember your coffee order, your childhood fears, the name of the book you said changed your life. These are not coincidences. These are breadcrumbs of loyalty in a culture built on ghosting. Keep them close. They are rare and real.

@Audiobooks_collection

Live in such a way that you become unbelievable.

Your real stories sound absurd, pure serendipitous events fuelled by zeal for living. Life rewards those who are the most interesting. Always God’s favourites.

Your accomplishments sound made up, your skills are so developed and refined that they must somehow be trickery.

So efficient people wonder how you even have the time.

So present people suspect you’ve taken enhancement through elixirs and chemical concoction.

People should pause to occasionally question whether or not you are even the same species.

And while they sit to doubt, question, and critique, the gap only grows.

@Audiobooks_collection

Maximizing profit is more important than getting revenge.

Never let a grudge get in the way of doing what is objectively in your best interest.

@Audiobooks_collection

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to commit to overdelivering.

If you’re going to do something you care about, never be sloppy or nonchalant. Otherwise don’t waste your time.

Have a standard for yourself that means people breathe a sigh of relief to see your name on a major project or work. They know you never take shortcuts to diminish quality.

If you don’t do this, even if others think your work is ‘good’ you will know how far off you fell from your potential because of sloth and laziness.

Much of the separative growth in skill and mastery happens at the outermost edge when you’re pushed and overloaded.

The intricacies make themselves known to you. Most will not appreciate the specifics or articulate exactly what that ‘it’ factor is, but they’ll feel it.

Your essence lingers and is imbued into your work.

It forms the elusive scaffolding that withstands the cruel disintegration of time.

@Audiobooks_collection

I learned a lot about my own values from running a medical education business. Realised I’m either the best person to work for or the worst.

I only care for output and efficiency.

If you can do the job perfectly in one day, then spend the rest of the month in Cancun, on the beach, I don’t care.

Good job. Enjoy.

Don’t waste your time pretending to do stuff, I don’t value or respect performative labour.

But I will naturally get curious about your work and diligently study the basics myself to see how efficiently it can be done.

Rather woefully, it is the case that most people really spend their productive days doing nothing at all. Seriously.

Most of what they do in weeks or months can be streamlined into a few hours of focused work.

If I figure this out, and realise I could do it efficiently and better myself then questions quickly arise and there’s no hesitation to let them go.

With AI, this scenario seems to be the more frequent reality.

If one does not learn how to break down their work, focus, and do it efficiently with all of the tools available today, then their future looks dire.

The value of their utility unpromised.
